THE IMPACT OF MOTIVATION AND HUMAN RELATIONS ON POLICE PERFORMANCE: A STUDY OF POLRES LAMPUNG BARAT

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of motivation and human relations on the performance of police officers at Polres Lampung Barat. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 120 police officers through a Likert scale survey. The analysis, conducted using multiple regression and t-tests, reveals that both motivation and human relations significantly enhance police performance. The findings underscore the importance of fulfilling higher-level needs and fostering a supportive work environment, aligning with theories such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and transformational leadership. This research contributes to the understanding of organizational behavior within law enforcement, offering practical implications for improving police effectiveness and job satisfaction. Future research should explore additional variables influencing performance and conduct comparative studies across different regions.
